New Physics Experiment Indicates There's No Objective Reality

This is well over my head to understand fully.

Quote:

Someone once said: "The world is all that is the case."

But, is it?

Researchers performing a long-awaited experiment created different realities that are irreconcilable, proving that objective facts can be made to exhibit properties that cannot cohere, according to a recent study shared on a preprint server.

Sound confusing? You're not alone in thinking so, as this all involves some pretty complicated physics. But in short, the takeaway is this: Reality is at odds with itself.

No doubt, this will make the Donald happy. Just consider the options this opens...

"Nobel Prize-winner Eugene Wigner described a thought experiment in 1961 that highlighted an uncommon paradox of quantum mechanics."

Well, yeah.

Have you ever read more than two pages of the US Politics thread?

It may not be correct-The word Matrix popped up in my head when reading the article.

What's reality ? Is mine reality not real, while yours is ?
Do I exist ? I think therefor...Was it me who created this thought or...... ?
